With no base code provided to starts with, there are many ways to accomplish this. Below is one possible way, which first find all address elements, and then print areacode and peraddr value from each address :

>>> raw = '''your xml string here'''
... 
>>> from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
>>> root = ET.fromstring(raw)
>>> for address in root.findall('.//address'):
...     print address.find('.//areacode').text, address.find('./peraddr').text
... 
 91   the great city 
 9110   the great wall
