mythical land
Legendary faraway place
A mythical land is an imaginary place from legend, folklore, or fantasy—Atlantis, Shangri-La, El Dorado, Narnia.
These places exist only in stories but often represent ideals: paradise, eternal youth, untold riches.
The phrase extends to any place spoken of in idealized or unrealistic terms: Silicon Valley was sold to young programmers as a mythical land of opportunity.
