I'm looking for something like 'A Fire Upon the Deep' or 'The Stars my Destination'. There should be a lot of world building and the plot shouldn't linger in just one place most of the book.

This might not be specifically what you're after, but the Rama series by Arthur C Clarke has world building after book 1, and doesn't linger in one place plotwise (although most of the setting is in one place, albeit a huge place).

Even if it doesn't fit your spec completely, if you haven't read it, it should be on your list.
