19 hour layover in beijing to bangkok

Question

HelloI have a 19 hour layover in Beijing from USA to Bangkok.  My airline carrier is AirChina who is also offering a free night stay at local hotel (outside airport -PEK).  I plan to venture the city and continue my travel to Bangkok via Beijing. My questions are:  (a) Am I still required to apply/purchase a visa?(b) If not, how do I apply for a free 72-hour free transit since my time in China (PEK) is less than 24 hours?Thank you(b)

You don't need a visa, and therefore you don't need to apply for anything. You should be granted 24 hours direct transit in China when you arrive.
