As such consider manglev plus line 2 to ljz and head for the binjiang park, which is opposite the bund. There are a few coffee shops there, a paulaner, and a hooters across the street. If you'd rather see shanghai from the top of a tall building ljz is also the place for doing so. But I think sticking with the park plan is probably the way to go if it's not raining.
