Lujiazui District
Stopping to admire the majestic skyline of Shanghai from up close is essential to visiting the city. Here you have 3 of the world"s largest buildings next to each other and your bus will drop you at the bottom of the one or two your group wants to enter. The highest is the Shanghai World Financial Centre at 492 metres but Jin Mao Tower and Oriental Pearl Tower are both also more than 400 metres high. This district isn"t negotiable on foot as it"s simply too large and certain buildings take up more than a whole block of space.
Shopping
Shanghai has some of the best value shopping centres in the world but they"re dotted across the city. With your rented minibus you can get out to places like Nanjing Road, Yuyuan Bazaar, or the electronics centre of Xujiahui. It"s best to designate how long you will spend in each market as they could entertain your group for a full day they"re that big.
