China has many domestic airlines and the same rules about flying apply as anywhere.
Lonely Planet's China travel guide says not to purchase airline tickets in China because as a foreigner you will pay two and a half times as much according to a CAAC regulation. Buses are slow but cheap and provide a good chance to view some of the Chinese countryside you may not otherwise see. Take government-run buses instead of private ones whenever you can because government drivers can be imprisoned for causing an accident and this may ensure a safer ride. Trains are crowded and foreigners will pay three times as much as Chinese nationals. It is also possible to travel in China by bicycle, the way the Chinese do.
