What's the difference between chow fun and lo mein? Are the noodles wider than lo mein noodles? (I know the difference between chow mein and lo mein.)

Chow fun is a wide rice noodle. Its western equivalent is fettucini. Lo Mein is a wheat noodle and it tends to be a little thicker than angel hair. You usually stir it in soup broth, Lo means to stir.
Technically, chow mein is not a type of noodle. It just means stir fried noodle and can come in different sizes. [edit]Clarification. In Hong Kong, lo mein is usually eaten as a soup noodle. In mainland China, it can be seen stir fried and resembles Japanese Yakisoba. Thickness of the noodle varies.
