Status of the LHAASO experiment and its latest results in both γ-ray astronomic observations and charged cosmic ray (CR) measurements are reported in this paper. The discovery of photons around 1 PeV from the Crab, 12 PeVatrons in our galaxy and new sources with emissions above 100 TeV declare the onset of the utral-high-energy γ-ray astronomy. The capability of measurements of spectra of the individual species of CRs, e.g. protons and iron nuclei, starts the new era of the high precision measurement of CRs using the ground based extensive air shower technique. The detection of the highest energy photon at 1.4 PeV from the remote potential source in Cygnus region allows to test of the violation of fundamental physics rules, such as the Lorentz Invariance, and set the highest limits in the tests.
