Denise, you do not need any kind of visa because your journey will be covered by 24 hour visa free transit. If you plan to stay at the airport for the entire time of your transit you do not have to perform any single formality nor to fill out any kind of form. You will just walk from one to the other gate and you will not be a subject of immigration and customs inspection. You will just have to find some amusement in the transit area for 22 hours of your layover.
In case if you plan to exit the airport, the first thing you will do upon landing in Guangzhou will be to approach transit counter where you will formally apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets. You do not need a hotel reservation, but you will tell the officials that you plan to stay in the city for just a short time, during the daylight time and definitely not during the night. You have to highlight the latter detail because if you say that you will stay in the city during the night and without a hotel, you will be denied a permit. After a short check you will be granted a permit and you will head to the immigration and then outside of the airport to enjoy your time on your own.
Whatever of the two options you decide to enjoy, I wish you a nice journey.
