I'm also staying at a decent Shanghai Renaissance, so should be able to get help from the concierge.
What do you mean by j class? Train tickets don't have letter based fare buckets.
I'm honestly not exactly sure how to buy sightseeing class these days....maybe try buying business on a site with a seatmap like 12306?
The handful of times they've ever been offered to me was at train booking offices. Since we're talking about 5 seats out of 1,000, I can understand why websites don't bother promoting them.
