Muchen is located on a road that branches off the M60 Khabarovsk - Vladivostok 75 km west at Vladimirovka and crosses the Vostok highway from Khabarovsk to Nakhodka at Sita . To the northeast, it continues from Muchen as an unpaved forest road to the upper reaches of the Chor and its tributaries.

Until it was shut down in 2004, Muchen ( Nemptu station ) was the end point of a branch line of the broad-gauge Oborskaya forestry railway going from Malaja Sidima ( Sidima station ) a good 10 km southwest , the main line of which connected Kruglikowo on the Trans-Siberian Railway with Sukpai on the Chor river. Passenger traffic on all routes had been discontinued in 1993. The entire operation on the almost 200 km long network was given up in 2009 and the routes were then dismantled.
