China's top leaders have a summer vacation spot that is quite different from those of other influential people. While some may head to Saint-Tropez or Monaco, China's elite secretly retreat to a humble seaside town called Beidaihe. This town, located about 186 miles east of Beijing, is a popular destination for ordinary Chinese families.

The exact timing of the leaders' visit is not publicly known, but security measures are put in place in early July. Further details about the annual leaders' vacation in Beidaihe are available from KVIA ABC-7's source, CNN.
