The Tsinghua Sanya International Mathematics Forum (TSIMF) was initiated the proposal by Shing-Tung Yau, an internationally renowned mathematics master.With the support of the Central Government and the strong support of Hainan Province and Sanya City, an international academic conference center was built by Tsinghua University. TSIMF is devoted to providing an elegant and quiet exchange environment for academic research. It has developed into a base of scientific innovation through academic exchanges and cooperation among the world's leading purely math, applied mathematics, statistics, theoretical physics, applied physics and other disciplines research teams. It will provide a platform for exploring new research directions, developing new theories, cultivating outstanding math talents and raising the level of Chinese mathematics research.TSIMF is intended to become a world-class international conference center holding workshops and international conferences in mathematics all year long, and it is the first of this type in Asia.

TSIMF is located in the southernmost tropical coastal city of Hainan Province, Sanya City. It is also located in the northwestern Phoenix Ridge mountains, adjacent to Sanya Phoenix International Airport. It is east of Sanya City Center, about 15 km, and west of the Ends of the Earth tourist attractions District, about 6 km. Sanya Bay seafront is nearby, only about 4.5 km.

TSIMF covers an area of 140 acres and a building area of nearly 30,000 square meters. It has a lecture hall, a variety of meeting rooms, libraries, parking lot, restaurants, playgrounds, gym, swimming pool and other amenities. Conference building has an area of 13,000 square meters, with more than 10 large and small conference rooms to meet different meeting requirements.
