Usama, you are not asking for 24 hour visa transit, but you are asking about a temporary entry permit in order to be allowed to exit the airport. Here the main detail is that the passenger has the right to travel under 24 hour visa free transit and to stay in the transit area of the airport during entire transit time. This is the right. However, obtaining a temporary entry permit is not a passenger's right. Issuing a temporary entry permit is done on case by case basis and it is usually issued to disabled and passengers with small children. Also, it could be issued to those with very long layovers, especially during the night hours. However, this is done based on discretionary decision only. So, when you land in Guangzhou, the very first thing that you will do will be to approach 24/240 hour visa free transit counter where you will apply for a temporary entry permit by presenting your flight tickets and your hotel accommodation booking. In my opinion, you will be granted a permit and when you get one, you will head to the immigration and then to your hotel for a good night rest and/or to explore the city. Also, I encourage you to use correct terminology because this is not 24-hour transit-free visa, but 24 hour visa free transit and there is no visa of any kind, but you will apply for a temporary entry permit in order to be allowed to exit the airport. Have a nice journey.
