Here the main detail is that the passenger has the right to travel under 24 hour visa free transit via China and to stay in the transit area of the airport during entire transit time and totally without a visa. This is your right. However, obtaining a temporary entry permit in order to exit the airport 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 as its is your case. However, this is done based on discretionary decision only. So, when you land in Chongqing, 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 (te latter is very important because like this you will show that you will really stay in a hotel). In my opinion, you will be granted a permit almost for certain and when you get one, you will head to the immigration and then to your hotel for a good night rest. Also, I encourage you to use correct terminology because this is 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 and successful granting of the temporary entry permit.
