You definitely need a visa obtained in advance because your return flight itinerary has exceeded 24 hours and it cannot be eligible for any kind of visa free transit scheme. Having in mind that you will have to obtain your visa in advance, I would sincerely suggest you to obtain a long term (10 years), multiple entry Chinese tourist (L) visa because US citizens are entitled for one at the price that is basically similar or even the same as the price for a transit (G) visa that would cover only this journey through China one way. Do yourself a favor and obtain the mentioned 10 year multiple entry tourist (L) visa and travel with complete peace of mind.
