In order to reach Guangzhou, you cannot use any kind of VOA (visa on arrival). Simply speaking, there is no VOA that could be used to reach Guangzhou. Anyway, you have three options how to see and stay in Guangzhou without obtaining a usual Chinese visa:
1. You can book one of the tours departing very often to the area of Guangzhou and if they are organized by authorized Hong Kong or Macau travel agencies, you can rely on 6 day visa exemption for tourists to Pearl River Delta. I don't know if such an option would be suitable for you because you would be required to roughly follow the tour program.
2. You can use 144 hour visa free transit. In order to do this, you would have to fly from Hong Kong to Guangzhou, stay there for up to 6 days and after that return to Macau by ferry. Your itinerary has to be:
Hong Kong - Guangzhou - Macau
In order to return to Macau you would have to book a ferry from Shenzhen Shekou to Macau in advance and bring an e-confirmation with you. This would allow you 6 days visa free in Guangzhou and the surroundings, in reality the entire Guangdong province. From Macau you can take a bus or a ferry back to Hong Kong
3. You can obtain a Chinese tourist (L) visa while you are still in US and that is the best solution because you are eligible for 10 year, multiple entry Chinese visa or a single entry visa at CVASC or through a private agency in Hong Kong.
