Yes, have been to Detian Falls (Chinese name) or Ban Gioc (Vietnamese name). located on the border between China (Daxin County, Guangxi Province) and Vietnam. The Falls are about 4 hours by car from Nanning, west of it and just under 400 Kms away. If you pick the right roads. you will pass another waterfall called Shatundie Waterfall. Nearest town to Detian Falls is called Daxin. There are few small hotels there.
A few tips. The best view of the waterfall is from the Chinese side. Actually, the waterfall is not a straight down path, it is broken in three different levels. If you go in dry season (no rain recently), you will see a few small streams, to me not worth the trip and putting up with the sharks after tourist money. But if you choose your travel date in rainny season (like March for example), it is worth the trip by far.
You can also take a tour there from Nanning, but most are a one day trip, and they rush you soo much that again, to me is not worth it.

A:I had a similar experience in HK. If I recall correctly, before or at the Z visa application, I had to submit ME from the ordinary HK clinic, where I explained why I need ME and I asked them to examine only necessary things (I don't remember the cost ...), and then ... I got Z stamp and when back in China, I had to complete another RP ME, which was on the employer, i.e. included in the Contract ...We've never discussed refund of payment for HK ME with my employer. Year 2013 ...I'd say, that is a regular thingy embassies around the world require, before issuing visas for LT stay in the country. "Vladimir Vladimiro-Witch ras-Putin" (LOL@your pronunciation ..) demands the same thingy before granting LT stay in Ruski.  ... Haa, 2013 was the Snowden's year. I was in Kowloon at the time of his landing .. with all these files ... I'm-Still-in-LMAO-State ... Cost for the ME in HK was around HK$ 2000/200 EUR, and ME was kind of swift, quicker and way shorter than on the mainland ... -- icnif77
