Are modern cities more interesting for tourists than historical ones?

I think both types of cities have their own appeal, but modern ones often offer more variety for tourists. The main reason is that they combine entertainment, shopping and cultural experiences all in one place. Take Shanghai for example - you can visit traditional temples in the morning, then go to world-class museums in the afternoon, and end the day at rooftop bars with amazing city views. That kind of diversity is hard to find in purely historical cities. That said, places like Jiuzhaigou, which I mentioned earlier, still attract visitors precisely because they preserve something unique that modern cities can't replicate.
