beijing 15 hours layover, may i apply for a twov to get out from airport

Question

Hello,I'm a citizen of Kazakhstan and a resident of the US.  I'm traveling to Astana through Beijing and the layover is 15 hours (Air China). I would like to go to the city for some time and explore, to do that should I apply for the tourist visa or I can apply for a 24-hour-TWOV stamp at the airport? Could you provide information regarding that? Thanks!

Maybe you can apply for a 24-hour-TWOV stamp at the airport. But I cannot guarantee that. You are advised to check the information from Timatic, an IATA database which airlines use.
