Few things offer a much-needed change of scenery like hitting the great outdoors—sharing the experience in a family tent can make it ever more special. Whether you’re going away for a casual weekend or packing light for a hard hike, here are a few of the best family tents.
Tahoe Gear Ozark Tent

MSR Habituate Tent
The Habituate from MSR is one of the best family tents for packing light, weighing just over 13 pounds and packing down to an incredibly small 23×10×10 inches. Despite its unassuming weight, this lightweight family tent includes durable aluminum poles, guidelines, and storage bags.
Coleman Cabin Tent
Traveling with family often means juggling (尽力同时应付) a lot of responsibilities，and this easy-to-assemble cabin tent from Coleman can offload some of the efforts. This family tent features per-assembled (提前安装好的) poles and an integrated rain fly, so the setup is as simple as unpacking, flexing the poles, and staking the tent into the ground.
White-duck Alpha Canvas Wall Tent
If you’re traveling with family or a large group that wants the absolute most out of a camping experience, this canvas tent from White-duck will do. It boasts a generous 320 square feet of floor space. Wind and wet weather don’t stand a chance against it, either.

Considering the most beautiful seas, it’s worth paying attention to the southern water bodies, although, without doubt, each sea is attractive and charming in its own way.
Coral Sea
If we consider the beauty of the seas, and not their coasts, then the first place should be given to the Coral Sea. The Coral Sea is a dangerous place for sailors, and at the same time one of the most beautiful places for diving, and all this is due to the unique coral reefs that are at its bottom.
Red Sea
The Red Sea is a truly magnificent place. It has rich fish stocks, a huge number of amazing creatures live in it, and the underwater world is exceptionally rich. Many corals live only here, and divers are strictly forbidden to break them.
Caribbean
This is the warmest exotic (异域风情的) place where not only the sea but also the plants on its coast please the eye. It’s located between North and South America, and on its shore there are a number of small countries. Many tourists come here, because rest here is inexpensive, and you can experience different cultural traditions.
Bali Sea
The Bali Sea is located in the Pacific Ocean. This is another paradise (天堂) for relaxation, receiving many tourists every season. The sea has a warm climate, creating ideal conditions for relaxing on the islands of Java, Sulawesi, Sumbawa, Madura.

【推荐2】There are some new inventions in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). Let’s have a look.
Invention 1: A system to identify Parkinson’s diseaseThe system works by measuring a person’s breathing patterns during sleep. The researchers noted that early signs of Parkinson’s disease are not easy to discover. But the team said the experiments showed that with just one night of sleep, the AI system can correctly identify Parkinson’s disease up to 86% of the time.
Invention 2: A tool to interpret pig emotionsThe scientists developed an AI-driven algorithm to identify a series of emotions the pigs could be experiencing. The study centered on more than 7,000 audio recordings of pigs in different situations. The researchers said the tool can lead to further systems farmers can use to improve the productivity and well-being of their animals.
Invention 3: A system to identify and predict smellsThe scientists built on past research to produce a brain-like technology model to create a “principal odor map” to identify molecules related to smells. The team said such a system can be used across many different fields, including the healthcare, food and fragrance industries, The researchers reported that the system can be used to help fight one of the world’s biggest health problems--diseases spread through insects.
Invention 4: A tool to fill in missing words in ancient writingsThe tool, called Ithaca, is designed to help historians repair the writings and identify when and where they were written. The team said that when historians worked on their own, the success rate for repairing damaged inscriptions was about 25%. But when humans teamed up with Ithaca to assist in their work, the success rate jumped to 72%.
