Where in Beijing (on Wangfujing Jie) is the 70 square meter relief sculpture?

I have a BJ City Walk app telling me when on Wangfujing Jie to go see
"a relief sculpture measuring 70 square meter on the Women’s Department Store’s southern wall."
I have asked so many people where this is (including tour guides on the very street), but no one so far has been ale to answer my question. I have also walked the whole street looking to the left and the right, but still managed to miss it. Can anyone tell me more specifically where it is; perhaps with the number of the street?

The relief sculpture on the southern wall of a department store you mentioned has been torn down in 2007. In 2010, it was rebuilt and hang up on the sothern wall of the new building of BJ Hotel phase two, which is located at the souther intersection of Wangfujing Street. Just go there to try to find now.

2007!? That's some old information they have then.
Could you please clarify!? Is there a hotel called 'BJ Hotel phase two'? Do you know the Chinese name?

It is BJ Hotel actually. In Chinese, 北京饭店. The new relief sculpture is at the southern wall of its new building of phase two, which should be 北京饭店二期新楼南墙上 in Chinese. Hope you can find that accordingly.

Are you sure?
I wrote to the hotel, and this is what the concierge say:
"I have no idea where they put it right now, it's not in BJ hotel.
Sorry for that!

Kind regards,
Coolio Li"

Yes, I am sure with the info. I am a Chinese living in Canada. I found the info according to several pieces of news and the Chinese version of the description on Wikipedia.

Anyway, news is news. We don't know the truth that wwhether it is hang there unless we go there to find on our own. Good luck.

Wikipedia... Perhaps not the most reliable source... Anyway, thank you for your help. I found it, and it's on the southern wall of the BJ Marriot Executive Apartments which is to the west of Wangfujing Jie and not too far away from the intersection.
