There are plenty of trains transporting passengers to and from most of the major cities inside China. Keep in mind train tickets may only be available if booked far in advance (most ticket sales open 10-21 days in advance; an agent can help book but will probably charge significant commission fees). Traveling in a seat (hard or soft-class) means you will share the cabin space with lots of locals. You will most likely encounter smokers, loud noise, and constant activity in the aisle while you try to sleep. Do not suggest to travel hard class if you are uncomfortable with these settings. Sleeper cabins are limited to 6 people each (4 for deluxe soft sleepers); Bottom berths cost a bit more because they're a little wider. If traveling alone, be especially careful of your luggage! Also note that bathrooms and washrooms may be closed or locked 30-40 minutes before reaching to the train station.
Trains run to several domestic cities including: Beijing (5-13 hours), Chengdu(13-18 hours), Chongqing (14 hours), Guangzhou (8–24 hours), Kunming (36-53hours), Lanzhou (8-10 hours), Lhasa (36 hours), Shanghai (11-20 hours), Urumqi(31-56 hours), Wuhan (4-18 hours), and Zhengzhou (2–6 hours).
