The first thing you should do is to get a visa from the consulate or embassy. I am far from an expert on China but our interior trips were booked by a local through a travel agency in Beijing. We went to Xi'an for two nights - flights to/from + driver + guide + hotel - for around $700 USD for two. This was off-season in Feb several years ago. Internal flights are quite inexpensive & I heard some negatives about the comfort of train travel.
The travel agency was CITS.
