The most important detail is that your transit through China is visa free and you do not have to apply for any kind of visa. So, you will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit and please, have in mind that there is no any kind of visa in this case.
As far as your exit from the airport is concerned, I inform you that it will not be easy to do it because Beijing airport authorities are quite stringent and they usually do not allow exits from the airport when passengers travel on 24 hour visa free transit. If you want to try, you will approach 24/144 hour visa free transit counter and apply for a temporary entry permit. This application is for free and the granting is based solely on discretionary right of the airport authorities, so you have to be prepared for both outcomes. In other words, please, think if you plan to book a hotel because if your entry permit is not granted, you will lose your money you have payed for the hotel.
