The town extends across 114 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, with the Da River flowing through its center near the northwestern border of Vietnam.

The area serves as a residential center for the Thai Trang ethnic group, contributing to the diversity of northwestern Vietnam's cultural traditions.

Travelers can reach Mường Lay through national roads connecting to Hanoi, with the journey requiring navigation through mountain passes and extended travel time.
