Its seat is located only 21 kilometres (13 mi) from the border with Lào Cai Province, Vietnam.
Pingbian County has a mild subtropical highland climate (Köppen Cwb) influenced by its elevation, with short, mild, dry winters and warm, humid summers. The monthly 24-hour average temperature ranges from 9.2 °C (48.6 °F) in January to 21.3 °C (70.3 °F) in July, and the annual mean is 16.3 °C (61.3 °F). The greatest rainfall tends to occur during the summer; spring is the sunniest season.
The narrow-gauge Kunming–Hai Phong Railway crosses Pingbian County. This railway's famous Faux Namti Bridge is located north of the county's Wantang Township (湾塘乡).
