The scaling and the scaling-relevant spectral properties of Penrose tiling are investigated. The fractal dimension df of this tiling is analytically obtained, which is two, equal to its Euclidean dimension. Similar to usual self-similar structure, the vibrational density of states for Penrose lattice is also found to follow a power law p(ω) ~ωds -1 with spectral dimension ds= 2 , which accounts for a special vibrational excitation in quasicrystals: the fracton-like excitation, whose state is critical. The simulation of random walk on this Penrose lattice indicates that the diffusive dimension dw= 2, thus the relation ds = 2df/dw holds.
