乡城县隶属四川省甘孜藏族自治州，位于四川省西部，青藏高原东南缘，地处四川省甘孜州西南陲，横断山脉中北段，东邻稻城县，北接理塘县，西与巴塘县、得荣县毗邻，南与云南省香格里拉县接壤。乡城，因地形得名，是藏语"卡称"的汉语音译，有手中佛珠之意，因县境内硕曲河由北而南纵贯全境，像一根丝线把座落在沿河两岸的白色村寨连在一起，犹如串串佛珠，故名。
乡城有着同稻城亚丁、云南香格里拉同样迷人的高原湖泊、峡谷风光，因游客稀少反而显得更加纯净和原始。独树一帜的白色藏房，金碧辉煌的桑披岭寺，绝无仅有的藏民服饰“疯装”被誉为香巴拉文化的“三绝”。同时，大自然的鬼斧神工造就了一批然乌天浴、尼丁大峡谷、香巴拉七湖、马熊沟大峡谷、佛珠峡等独具特色的自然生态景观。乡城除了迷人的自然风光，还具有独有的藏区低海拔和舒适的高原气候，使得这里农耕历史悠久，藏乡田园独具魅力。
