Maria, you have offered so poor information about your flight itinerary. You did not mention the airport, airline, type of your ticket... OK, I will assume that you are traveling on a single (through) ticket via one of the Chinese airports where you have a longer layover during the night.
So, if you are traveling on a single (through) ticket, the first thing you will do upon your landing is to approach 24/144 hour visa free transit where you will apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets and your hotel booking. After a short check you will be granted a permit and then you will head to the immigration in order to exit the transit zone and to proceed to your hotel. Please, use correct terminology because this is not 24 hour visa, but you will travel covered by 24 hour visa free transit, so there is no visa of any kind.
If you are a Danish citizen and if you fly your itinerary starting from November 8, you will just fill out the arrival card on board the plane and head directly to the immigration. Also, your luggage will be tagged all the way to your final destination, but you are advised just to check that detail at the time of check-in in the country from where you will depart toward China. Have a nice journey.
