望鱼古镇建于明末清初，主要建筑坐落在突兀于山腰的一块巨石之上，因巨石形似一只守望着周公河游鱼的猫而得名。望鱼古镇的选址虽因茶马驿道而兴起，但也体现了中国传统的风水观念，即“枕山、环水、面屏”等要素。
The Wangyu ancient town was build in the late Ming and early Qing dynasty, mainly located on a giant rock halfway up the mountain, and it got its name because of the similar appearance to a cat that is watching the fish in the Zhougong River. Although the place became popular by the Tea Horse Road, it reflects the idea of "leaning against the mountain, surrounded by water, flat" from the Chinese tradition of Fengshui.望鱼地处深山，规模较小，不太为人熟知。像其它古村落一样，这里的年轻人大多外出打工去了，只留下一些老人和孩子，生活悠闲，与世无争，显得宁静而安详，完全没有了当年茶马古道驿站的热闹，更没有现代都市的喧嚣。正是这淳朴的民风和古朴的老街融为一体，成为望鱼的一大亮点。
Wangyu is located in a deep mountain, it is relatively small in scale, and not well-known. Like other ancient villages, most of the young people here went out to work, leaving only some old people and children. They live leisurely, without any competition, peaceful and serene, which has no excitements of Tea Horse Road Station back in the old days, nor has the bustle of modern cities. Just because of this blending of the simple custom and the quaint old street, it has become one of the highlights of Wangyu.去到古镇老街需爬上百级陡峭的石阶。
To go to the Old Street of the ancient town, hundred of levels of steep stone steps must be climbed.老街口，矗立着一座六角古亭，由后人书写的“望鱼石”牌匾格外醒目。
On the old street, stands a hexagon pavilion, the plaque "Wangyu Stone" written by later people is very significant.在望鱼古亭的正对面，是红军1936年在此召开“打土豪分田地”宣传动员会的旧址，可惜已经看不到当时的陈设了。
望鱼老街为一字形长街，全长200多米。街道上几乎没有人，青石板路纵贯街面，路面已被岁月打磨得幽幽发光。
The Old Street of Wangyu is straight and long, it has more than 200 meters. There is almost no one on the street, the stone tiles run through the street, and the surface was polished by time and is shinning with lusters.街道上的青石台阶虽经岁月磨去了棱角，但依然坚如磐石。
街道两侧全部为木结构青瓦房和吊脚楼。
Both sides of the street are blue-tiled and hagging houses.
精致的瓦楞、墙角、窗棂和柱基石上的雕花显露出昔日的繁华。

这些建筑曾经是衙门、银庄、当铺、药店、绣楼、旅店、饭馆、茶铺，现大多已成为民宅。
古街的房屋看上去大多歪歪斜斜，摇摇欲坠，可前几年的雅安地震也没能震倒它。
当地雨水较多，住宅多用四合头式，又称“四水归池”式，屋檐全部由木柱支撑，落雨时行人从檐下走而不淋湿。
Local area rains a lot, a great number of houses used the style of "four binding head", also called "water returns the pool" type. The roofs are all supported by wooden columns, people never get wet when passing under it.望鱼老街房屋的地坪有落差，台阶与街面两侧有孔洞，形成排水系统。雅安古称“天漏”。
不少古屋抬高了地基，目的在于走水防潮。
Many ancient houses raised the foundation in order to prevent water and moisture.两把油纸伞摆放在高高的门槛前，等待着主人出门为其遮风挡雨。
古镇有不少房屋早已老朽残破，无人居住。
Many houses in the ancient town are old and dilapidated, no one lives in them.但这些房屋门前的铜制门环竟然保存完好，铮亮发光，没有丝毫的锈迹。
But the bronze knockers in front of the doors are well kept and shiny, there are not a bit of rust.吊脚楼的基柱已经被风化剥蚀，但它依然承载着古镇历史，毫不动摇。
古镇建筑精雕细刻，体现了明清时期建筑文化的精髓。
这种体现江南建筑风格的腰门设计充满艺术气息，其木柱花瓶的雕饰栩栩如生，别具韵味。
