I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'capital place' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both locations as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'noah went round to one' is the wordplay.
'went round' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'going round' mean this).
'to one' becomes 'i' (Roman numeral).
'noah' anagrammed gives 'hano'.
'hano'+'i'='HANOI'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hanoi that I've seen before include "Asian city" , "foreign city" , "Vietnamese capital" , "Vietnamese city" , "capital out East" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
