You don't need a transit visa if you don't leave the airport during the 21 hours stopover. You need to obtain a visa at the airport if you want to go to Guangzhou, maybe you can't get it because the visa policy tightens owing to Asian Games from October to January. You can apply for a China transit visa from China embassy in Cambodia, the fee is about US$30
