Which god is the biggest in Fuzhou?

Fuzhou wandering god Wuyang Dongyue Buddha is the biggest.

Dongyue Emperor is tall, majestic, mighty and powerful, protecting the people and giving them whatever they want. Wandering gods often take villages as units, and sometimes several villages unite. They carried local gods in open-top sedan chairs, such as Emperor Huaguang, King Baima, Linshui Nai, and the main gods worshipped separately by each village, as well as their subordinates, such as Tong Brothers, Seven Lords, Eight Lords and other bamboo-stabbing gods. Led by people, they marched around the village in groups in the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers, and the people watched and greeted them.

As soon as firecrackers sounded, the wandering gods began, carrying the statue of the earth god in an open sedan chair. Jinfeng visited two gods, one was the head of Five Blessingg the Great who protected the golden face of Fuzhou land god, and the other was Ying Jiugong, a symbol of water god.
