Introduction

The Tsung-Dao Lee Center for Sciences and Arts is a future-oriented international platform for academic and artistic exchange, initiated by leading Chinese scientists and inspired by the philosophy of Nobel laureate Professor Tsung-Dao Lee that "sciences and arts are two sides of a coin." The center aspires to become China’s equivalent of the "Aspen Center for Physics." It brings together world-renowned scientists and artists in the scenic region between Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, creating an ideal environment for free discussion, intellectual exchange, and cross-disciplinary innovation.

Guided by its core principles of "Sciences · Arts · Nature," the center hosts high-level international seminars, interdisciplinary workshops, and artistic programs throughout the year, fostering deep integration between cutting-edge basic scientific research and creative artistic thinking. By inviting globally distinguished experts and providing an immersive academic environment away from urban distractions, the center is dedicated to inspiring original discoveries, cultivating cross-boundary thinking, and facilitating groundbreaking achievements in both sciences and arts.

Located within Dali Pacific Care Home and Sanya, the center offers comprehensive facilities for conferences, accommodation, work, and relaxation, ensuring high-quality residency conditions for visiting scholars and artists. With its spirit of openness, freedom, and interdisciplinary innovation, the Tsung-Dao Lee Center for Sciences and Arts aims to become a dynamic hub for scientific and artistic thought in China and beyond.
