The town is stretched along the upper course of Xiang Stream (Xiang Xi) (or perhaps one of its tributaries), which flows from Shennongjia mountains southeast toward the Yangtze. The river valley is paralleled by China National Highway 209.
Serving as the natural "gateway" to Shennongjia National Nature Reserve[2] (the entry to which is at Yazikou Junction, some 10 to 15 kilometres (6.2 to 9.3 mi) north of Muyu), Muyu and its vicinity is the location of most of the hotels and tourist services in the southern part of Shennongjia. Regular minibus service connects it to Yichang and Maoping (Zigui County). There is also less-regular shuttle van service north, to Songbai town (the seat of government of Shennongjia District) and Shiyan; but the road north (beyond Yazikou Junction) is still "unimproved" (as of 2009), and, moreover, that part of Shennongjia is closed to foreigners.
