The route was along(?) an island in the middle of Taihu Lake. The route was along(?) an island in the middle of Taihu Lake.

“Along” would be OK if the island were very long and narrow, or if you went along a feature of the island, such as its coast, crest or ridge.

"have been there" suggests they are still alive. I suggest "visited" or "came here" or "traveled here" in the simple past tense. I understand "left" to mean they wrote poems and left them for us. However, it looks like not everyone will understand this phrasing, so you might consider alternatives like "were inspired to write" or "wrote" or "produced" instead. You might also add "about it/ the island" for extra clarity. So for example: "This island is quite famous; some well-known poets in Chinese history, such as Bai Juyi 白居易 and Fan Chongyan 范冲淹, visited and were inspired to write many beautiful poems about it.

"in my school time" isn't wrong, but "back in school" is a more commonly said phrase. In fact, "back" can often be used when talking about periods of time in the past: "back in high school", "back when I was working for that company", etc.

The simple past is fine. if all three verbs in the sentence are in the same tense, the flow is better.

To me, it' was a double delight. To me, it was a double delight.

Changing "it's" to "it was" focuses on your experience that Saturday. If you want to make a general statement using the present tense, the sentence might need more explanation of what the delight is. For example: "To me, it's a double delight to recall poems about a landscape while hiking through it."

To me, it' was a double delight. To me, it was a double delight.

ToFor me, it's a double delight. For me, it's a double delight.
