Domestic flights within China are usually not very expensive, provided that you use a local travel agent and pay in RMB. Be sure you price out a domestic flight before you spend miles on one. I wrote an article about this in 2014 but the fundamentals are all still the same: <a href="https://www.seat31b.com/2014/04/going-local-booking-cheaper-flights-in-china/">https://www.seat31b.com/2014/04/going-local-booking-cheaper-flights-in-china/</a><br /><br />
