The first cinema in Nagri was built at the average elevation of 4,500 meter in July, 2010. Supported by the Apple Foundation, the cinema was named "Nagri Apple 17.5 Cinema" as it has cost 1.75 million.

The cinema covers an area of 654 square meters with one screening room and 105 seats. An updated collection of films will be screened here to enrich the entertainment of people on the plateau.

Limited by the natural environment, local villagers in Nagri barely have any entertaining life. The "Nagri Apple 17.5 Cinema" will become the main bridge between the local people and the outside world.

The Apple Foundation is dedicated to improve the educational and medical conditions in Nagri and has invested 20 million yuan in the establishments of public libraries, schools and cinemas in the agricultural and pastoral areas in Nagri.

Nagri in western Tibet is home to dozens of holy lakes and mountains in Tibet such as the Mt. Kailash and the Mapam Yumco Holy Lake.

The region still remains mysterious and untouchable for its high elevation and remote location. However, its splendid landscapes, typical customs and the strong air of Buddhism, still attract many adventurers from home and abroad to leave their footprints there.
